100G optical transceivers

Sanopti's QSFP28 form factor is a widely accepted industry standard for 100G optical transceivers, known for its small size and high-density configuration. This small form factor allows network administrators to maximize the use of their data center real estate, accommodating more transceivers in the same space compared to larger, older transceiver types.

 

The QSFP28 CWDM4 optical transceiver module converts four input wavelengths of 25Gb/s electrical data to four channels of CWDM optical signals and then multiplexes them into a single channel for 100Gb/s optical transmission. On the other end, the QSFP28 100G CWDM4 de-multiplexes a 100Gb/s optical input into four channels of CWDM optical signals and then converts them to four output channels of electrical data on the receiver side.

Featured 100G Optical Transceiver

Different types of 100G optical transceivers are suitable for different applications and environments. We provide optical transceivers with different wavelengths and interfaces to meet customer needs.

100G QSFP28 Transceiver

Sanopti’ s 100G QSFP28 Transceiver series includes QSFP28-SR4, QSFP28-LR4, QSFP28-ER4, QSFP28-ZR4, QSFP28-BIDI, QSFP28-PSM4 and QSFP28-CWDM4.

It offers connecting solution from 100m to 40km for data centers, high speed network and 5G.

The name of the 100G QSFP28 comes from the fact that its electrical interface can handle four channels of 25G each, potentially up to 28G. Sate Optics also provides 100G QSFP28 DAC and 100G QSFP28 AOC products.

100G optical transceiver application scenarios

Nowadays, 100G optical QSFP28 transceivers account for a significant portion of networking construction. However, due to the different properties and functions of various types, their exact application is based on the actual needs in a real environment. QSFP28 100G SR4 is mainly applicable in a 100G data center with a demand for short transmission distances between 5m and 100m.

QSFP28 100G PSM4 and QSFP28 100G CWDM4 are specially designed for network applications with a transmission distance of 500m and 2km. While QSFP28 100G CWDM4 is relatively more costly, it requires only two single-mode fibers for transceiving and transmitting in both directions, which is much less than the eight single-mode fibers of PSM4, making it a high-quality choice for Enterprise networking and 100G Ethernet.

Due to their compact size, low power consumption, and high performance, 100G QSFP28 optics are mainly used for the following situations.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have compiled the frequently asked questions about our 100G Optical Transceivers. If you have other concerns, feel free to get in touch with our customer support. Our team of experts is always ready to assist.

What does QSFP28 stand for?

QSFP28 is abbreviated from Quad Small Form-Factor Pluggable 28. The 100G QSFP28, implemented with four channels of high-speed differential signals with data rates ranging from 25Gbps up to potentially 40Gbps, is designed for 100 Gigabit Ethernet, EDR InfiniBand, and 32G Fibre Channel.

What is the difference between QSFP28 and 100G QSFP?

They are the same. The “QSFP” form factor was originally defined for <10G speeds. When it was adopted for 40G, the name became QSFP+ to denote the higher aggregate performance. The same “QSFP” form factor was later adopted for 100G but the electrical interface had to be upgraded to handle 25Gbps/lane. The electrical interface for 100G can handle up to 28Gbps, hence the engineering and industry name is QSFP28. Sanopti refers to the 100G form factor as “100G QSFP” to avoid any confusion.

What 100G Transceivers and Cables are available from Sanopti?

Sanopti supports a full range of 100G copper cables and optical transceivers compliant to IEEE standards and industry MSAs. Sanopti’s 100G connectivity solutions include copper cables and Active Optical Cables (AOCs) to enable cost effective short reach options, as well as a wide range of optical transceivers in QSFP form factors for various fiber types, reach and interop requirements.

Are 100G copper cables supported on all Sanopti switches?

Most Sanopti switches support the use of copper cables, with a few exceptions which are listed below. Please refer to the individual switch datasheets for a comprehensive list of media types supported.

Which 100G QSFPs are capable of supporting link distances over 10km?

The Sanopti QSFP-100G-ZR4 can support link distances of up to 80km. To prevent damage to the receiver, a minimum of 12dB attenuation is required . Please note that the QSFP-100G-ZR4 is only supported on a limited set of platforms · The QSFP-100G-ERL4 can support link distances of up to 40km with FEC enabled on the host switch / router. The default no-FEC mode supports links of up to 30km. To ensure that the receiver is not damaged, a minimum of ~10dB attenuation is required. · The QSFP-100G-LR4 can support links of up to 10km on duplex single mode fiber. Enabling FEC with QSFP-100GLR4 optics on switches can allow for links beyond 10km, but it is recommended that the link distance and optical loss budget is measured before deployment, as it is not fully characterized.

What is the operating temperature range of 100G QSFP28 transceivers?

The standard operating temperature range of QSFP28 100G module commercial version is 0°C to 70°C and that of the industrial version is -40 to 85°C. Commercial version transceivers are generally applied. There are also some data centers that use 100G transceivers with operating temperatures ranging from 20°C to 50°C to reduce costs.

How To Choose The Product You Want?

From Wavelength

In fiber optics, wavelength is one of the biggest limiting factors. Wavelength will heavily influence a system's speed, coverage, compatible hardware, and other aspects of network design.

Sanopti offers three wavelengths to choose from. Please note:

·850nm signals can only propagate about 500m.

·1310nm signal can propagate 40 kilometers.

·The 1550nm signal can exceed 40 kilometers.

From Type

Sanopti provides 100G QSFP28 and CWDM transceivers, please place an order according to your needs.

Consideration range

How far does the signal travel? When you choose a wavelength, you already consider some range, but there's more to the equation. The range of influence between single-mode (SMF) and multimode fiber (MMF) is quite large. Single-mode fiber has greater coverage but costs more, while multi-mode fiber has higher data rate capabilities and offers a price advantage.

What Should You Pay Attention To When Purchasing 100G Optical Transceiver?

1.The optical module device will be encrypted to a certain extent to match with its own device. Inclusive manufacturers need to perform different inclusive matching on the optical module to perfectly solve the matching problem.

2.Service life: The service life of a normal optical module is 5 years, depending on the usage of the optical module in terms of time, if there is a problem in about 1 or 2 years, then it can be roughly judged that the The quality of the module itself has a problem Or a used module.

3.Optical module performance: The performance indicators that affect the optical module mainly include average transmitted optical power, extinction ratio, optical signal center wavelength, overload optical power, receiving sensitivity, and receiving optical power. By detecting whether these values are within the normal range The performance of the optical module can be judged. It can be viewed through DDM information. In addition, it can also be judged by whether the signal of the optical module is stable during transmission, whether there is delay, and whether there is packet loss.
